Penn State is now No. 18
overall, dropping four spots. Clemson, Auburn, fellow Big Ten school Northwestern,
two-time defending BCS Champion Alabama and Baylor all moved ahead of Penn
State in the latest rankings released Thursday.

Texas Tech was the only
school that dropped below Penn State, as the Red Raiders fell from No. 13
overall to 20.

Clemson made the biggest jump
of any school with a 20-spot bounce to No. 9 overall.

Michigan, on the heels of
five-star recruit Jabrill Peppers' verbal declaration for the Wolverines, moved
into the No. 1 spot replacing LSU.

Ohio State at No. 8 gives the
Big Ten Conference four schools inside the top 20.

Temple dropped five spots to
No. 45 with a 2014 class of five verbal declarations. And Pitt, which has only
one commitment, is No. 81 of the 95 schools that are ranked.
